At a recent family even a cousin and I got into an argument. Will Harry die in the 7th book? We both agreed on the fact that Severus Snape is good, and that RAB is Regulus A. Black, but we couldn't agree on who would die.
I say that Harry, Voldemort, and Hagrid will die, but she says that either Ron or Hermione, and Voldemort will die but not Harry. What do you think?

The suspected correlation is broader than I suggested above.

Beyond economic insecurity, I also think that general dissatisfaction with life, or a sense of victimhood, can make people more willing to adopt views with a reduced burden of proof.

Thus, a happy, content person appears to be more reluctant to adopt ideas that have low levels of proof, such as conspiracy theories or sweeping generalizations about group of people and their intentions.

For example, I have heard commentators observe that the Islamic world is rife with conspiracy theories, and it seems clear to me that many Muslims somehow feel victimized by the West.

Could it be that people who are struggling with life are grasping at straws for ideas to explain their circumstances, so desparate that they are willing explore ideas beyond reason? I have heard parents of autistic chidren express similar views.

If you agree, can you suggest why a possible cause? Samples from history which support your conclusions are welcome.

I need a picture of a left foot, I think that it is by DaVinci. The foot has lines sectoring it showing the relationship of the top to the side. I am doing research into biomechanics and think that I might just expound on this picture. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

What are the best settings to use on a digital camera at night to take landscape photos?

I can over-ride the automatic settings, but need eduating about which manual settings to change, and why.

I am using the optical zoom option and a basic built-in flash at the moment.

Thanks

Dear Friends,

I'm planning to buy a digital camera. Please help me in selecting the right one. My priorities r as follows:

1. Price: Under 15,000 INR. (+_ 500 permitted) (333 US$ aprox)
2. Should be capable of quality video recording.
3. Should be handy. BUT PICTURE QUALITY COUNTS ABOVE ALL.
4. Should have a bit of manual adjustments.

Please help me. I've selected a few models like CANON POWERSHOT A540, NIKON COOLPIX L5. What about SONY and KODAK?

I'll remain grateful to all of you if you please leave your valuable comments.

Hi! I read "Philosophy for Dummies" and I was pretty shocked when I realized that the author believed in God (that's not what shocked me - everyone believes in what he wants to) and that his book attempted to provie that God exists. His arguments were totally biased as he never gave counter-answers to believers' arguments (among other things).

What p*ssed me off was the fact that it's a book that's supposed to teach you to think, NOT to tell you what to think.

Anyone else has read it?
